Lovely pub. Poor food especially for the price.Main point would be the rude and loud bar manager with black hair. Shocking behaviour and language especially with my young nephews with me. He insulted me and my family multiple times. I’m all up for a joke but a time and a place should be in context. Such a shame and we won’t be going back if he’s there. Your pub will lose out because of people like this.

Had a wonderful Sunday lunch at The Nelson. Very reasonably priced and quality was excellent. Generous portion with plenty of beef which was beautifully cooked. Gorgeous roast potatoes, crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The Yorkshire pudding was huge and didn't disappoint.Service was also outstanding, friendly and helpful, particularly as it became very busy.The desserts were not over priced for the quality and were delicious.Will most definitely re-visit this fantastic Pub. Big thank you to the Nelson for making my friend's birthday meal very memorable.Vegetarian options: My husband enjoyed the nut roast . There were otheroptions which was good as online there didn't appear to be that many! So pleasantly surprised.

Excellent food and service? Had the Fish Finger Baguette, which was spectacular, which was washed down with a lovely glass of Old???? Cider (can't remember the full name?) Would definitely recommend and visit again.

Good food, we ate from the £9 lunch menu with £1 going to charity, and couldn't fault it. All food was hot and came together and fairly quickly too. The ham, egg & chips was amazing and so were the puddings! Lovely people too, we were the only people eating on a quiet rainy day but were made to feel very welcome ??

Took my partner here for Sunday lunch after reading a local article on the pub and it didn't disappoint. It's a friendly large pub with a dining area at the back. Lots of young staff and efficient service, the food was fresh and excellent, we both really enjoyed it.

Really nice little pub used by locals. Nice atmosphere and the Sunday lunch was awesome. We come down to Christchurch every year and we like this pub. The locals are really friendly too.
Had a lovely Sunday lunch with friends at the Nelson tavern. Great atmosphere, company and lots of lovely food.

Choice between lunch time (light bites) or regular menu. Very good food, at reasonable prices. Even the side salad is a cut above. Unlike many places, the desserts are very good value for money, and are homemade and delicious. We are not local but have visited a number of times over the last few years and it has consistently been very good.

Large pub with good sized restaurant at the back. And a lovely real fireplace to snuggle around. Went for a quick evening dinner fast friendly service. Quite a big menu with a fair amount of choice. Good portion sizes so you won't go hungry. All freshly cooked and good ingredients.Update Christmas 23:Went for a large group (50 people) Christmas lunch. Food was good and all freshly prepared. Classic Turkey main had plenty of Turkey and vegetables. Deserts and starters were nice and a little unusual so a good selection
